GOOD NEWS WEDNESDAY!

So maybe life sucks right now or maybe it is grand. Either way, there is some little something that you could be grateful for on this fine fine Wednesday and this is the place to share it! Someone needs to hear your positive news, so come spread the joy on this weeks edition of GOOD NEWS WEDNESDAY! :D

Edit: If you happen to be a lurker, come out of the woodworks and share your good news too! Meeting newbies is good news for us!

Re: GOOD NEWS WEDNESDAY!

  • I jumped the gun a bit and posted my good news in the Good Morning thread, but I found large limes at the grocery for $4.98/kg today!  Normally they are $14.98/kg so I was thrilled.  I bought a kilogram while I was there and DH bought a second one on his way home from work.  I have enough fresh lime juice for pico de gallo, fajita marinade, lemon-lime sorbet, and limeade.  I am in lime heaven!

  • BAH! darn Nest ate my response.

    I shall not let it spoil my good news. It is pretty outside today and above freezing. I have plans to meet someone for drinks  this afternoon and met Anna7602 yesterday for yoga and lunch. I am being all social and trying to really profit from my two weeks off work.

    AND my friend was having to hold off on her divorce until August because she couldn't afford health insurance, BUT some really nice friend of hers has offered to  pay for her insurance until August so that she can officially divorce the douchewaffle that is currently her husband. I am soooo insanely excited for her and really  grateful that her friend is that nice and able to help her out.

  • Hooray for cheap limes and awesome friends!

    My good news is that we got to sleep through last night with no 'musical interludes' from our azzhat neighbors. Filed my second noise complaint in two weeks on them on Monday night (blaring music from 2-7 a.m. is NOT okay!) so it was a relief to get some solid zzzs last night. 

  • Good news is that DH signed a new 3 year contract today to continue teaching in Qatar! :-) I'm so thrilled for him!

    THIS, except insert "met myblueangel19." I am also trying to be all social and for the first time since I got to Paris, I ran into a friend UNPLANNED on the street today while we were both running separate errands. There's nothing like seeing a familiar face among the crowd unexpectedly to make you feel like you're finally making a place home.

  • I got to sleep in today. And the sky is blue and it is sunny outside and I feel that Spring might be just around the corner.

    Awesome news, I know you were hoping for this!

    My good news is that I'm going to Prague with a girlfriend tomorrow and going to the Prague Opera tomorrow night. In fancy cocktail dresses. With champagne (it's mandatory). I am taking a break from this T-TTC nightmare and planning on a fun weekend with lots of drinking and dancing and beautiful sites to see :-)

    That's good to hear since I am headed to Spain twice in the next month. I need spring!

    I forget, are you in Madrid, or elsewhere? Also, my cousins are borrowing a car seat for DD's use while we're there, but thanks so much for your earlier advice.

  • My Mom managed to get cheap airline tickets to fly my Grandmother (who lives in Baltimore) out to visit her (who lives in Chicago) so they can spend the weekend together and watch the Oscars (my Mom loves to watch all the red carpet pre-shows where they discuss the dresses, etc. and always says she wishes I lived closer for this specific event!). It's sweet to hear of them doing Mother and Daughter things considering my Grandma is in her late 80s and my Mom in her 60s.
  • I had a great second date last night and we made plans for a third date this weekend. 

    In a week I'll be taking the bar exam and this stress will be over.

    Where will you be in Spain? I'm in Madrid too and would love to meet up if you are going to be here!

  • My good news is DH got offered a job in Frankfurt and as long as the contract negotiation on Friday goes well we will be moving in a month or so! Crazy and exciting! It will be our first move together.

  • I was going to comment on someone's good news but then kept reading and seeing more good news I wanted to comment on cause it seems so many have great things going on right now, so here's just one big "YAY!" to everyone's good news.

    My good news is that our house is now officially sold! and we will hopefully get to move into the new house in two months. Also, I didn't receive any work today which is good news because I feel even sicker than yesterday so I'm glad I can take the day to just lounge around and relax.

    Wow, congratulations! Good thing I'm getting to Madrid before your move. I'll be there March 16-19 (taking advantage of the San Jose holiday), but am still unsure of whether I will be able to break away from family or not. I am dreaming of my parents and cousins taking DD for an afternoon, or even evening, so I can just do my thing, but we'll see. You'll probably have your own pre-move craziness, but PM me!
